    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chimney tray (3) for a column (1) for thermal treatment of fluid mixtures, comprising a collecting tray (4) and at least two chimneys (5-1, 5-2) spaced apart horizontally in the collecting tray (4), where each chimney (5-1, 5-2) forms a vertically aligned chimney body (6-1, 6-2) which forms a passage orifice (7-1, 7-2) through the collecting tray (4), and has a cover unit (8-1, 8-2) arranged spaced apart from the chimney body (6-1, 6-2), and where the cover unit (8-1, 8-2) covers the respective passage orifices (7-1, 7-2) in the vertical direction. The chimney tray (3) of the invention is characterized by a screen (9) which extends around the chimney body (6-1) of a first chimney (5-1), with the lower annular edge (14) of the screen (9) below the upper edge (13) of the chimney body (6-1) of the first chimney (5-1) and the upper annular edge (11) of the screen (9) above the lower outer edge (12) of the cover unit (8-1) of the first chimney (5-1) or adjoining the lower outer edge (12) of the cover unit (8-1) of the first chimney (5-1).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a column (1) for thermal treatment of fluid mixtures, having a cylindrical, vertical column body (2) which forms a column cavity (3), a plurality of trays (8) mounted with vertical spacing in the column cavity (3), and a support construction (9) which supports at least one of the trays (8) in vertical direction. It is a characteristic feature of the inventive column (1) that the support construction (9) has a plurality of orifices (12) which allow horizontal mass transfer through the support construction (9). The invention further relates to a tray device for such a column and to a thermal separation process between at least one gas ascending within such a column (1) and at least one liquid descending within the column (1).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for treating secondary components obtained in acrolein and/or (meth)acrylic acid production, comprising the steps of: a) contacting at least one wastewater stream (201) comprising at least a portion of the water of reaction removed in a first stage of a saturation column (101) with at least one process offgas stream (203), b) introducing energy by means of a first heat transferer (103) provided in a first saturation circuit (301) into the first stage of the saturation column (101), c) partly vaporizing the wastewater stream (201) into the process offgas stream (203) and passing the combined gas stream (205) into a second stage of the saturation column (101), d) drawing off a concentrated wastewater stream (207) from the bottom (1011) of the first stage of the saturation column (101) and feeding it to the top (1023) of the second stage of the saturation column (101), e) introducing energy by means of a second heat transferer (105) provided in a second circuit (303) into the second stage of the saturation column (101), f) partly vaporizing the concentrated wastewater stream (207) into the combined gas stream (205) to obtain an offgas stream (209), g) superheating the offgas stream (209), after it has been saturated, in a third heat transferer (113) to obtain a superheated offgas stream (211) and h) transferring the offgas stream (209) or the superheated offgas stream (211) from the saturation column (101) to a thermal aftertreatment. The present invention further relates to a plant (1) for treating the secondary components obtained in acrolein and/or (meth)acrylic acid production.

    Abstract: An α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and/or an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid are prepared by gas phase oxidation of alkene with molecular oxygen over a fixed catalyst bed comprising a bed of hollow cylindrical shaped catalyst bodies having a multimetal oxide active composition. The fixed catalyst bed comprises at least three successive reaction zones; the highest local temperature in the fixed catalyst bed does not occur in the reaction zone closest to the reactor outlet; the highest local temperature in the fixed catalyst bed does not occur in the reaction zone closest to the reactor inlet; and the value WT=(ED−ID)/2 in the reaction zone in which the highest local temperature in the fixed catalyst bed occurs is lower than in the other reaction zones, in which ED is the external diameter and ID is the internal diameter of the shaped catalyst body. The yield of the products of value is enhanced in this way.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an extraction column 1 having a vertically aligned column body 2 which is cylindrical at least in sections and forms a column cavity 3 having a horizontal maximum extent, with provision in the column body 2 of at least one first feed 4 for an extractant, at least one second feed 5 for the fluid to be extracted and at least one outlet 6 for the extract mixture and at least one outlet for the raffinate. In the inventive extraction column 1, a vertically aligned divider 7 arranged within the column cavity 3 subdivides the column cavity 3 into a plurality of vertically aligned and horizontally divided regions, the horizontal maximum extent of each region being less than the horizontal maximum extent of the column cavity 3. The invention further relates to a process for extracting a constituent from a fluid by means of such an extraction column 1.
